Hi everyone, relatively new to VBA so appreciate any guidance with this problem I've attached a simple workbook.
I'd like to split my master Excel workbook into multiple workbooks based on name criteria. Here is the process:
Filter column A on the 3 data tabs for each name referenced on the Names tab. So for the first name on the Names tab, 'Swanson, Ron', filter that name on Data1, Data2, Data3 tabs.
Highlight the first 6 tabs (Sheet1 - Sheet6)
Copy paste values
Save down just those sheets as separate workbook named Swanson,Ron.xlsx
Repeat for the next name
Here is some code I have tried that I found on a separate thread, this will only filter one tab and I'm a bit confused by it. Sheets 1 - 6 do not have any data, but this is just for simplicity, in reality this has automated formatting and formulas that are generated off results of my data tabs.
```

Thank you so much for any help here
